NOTE 


ean THEODORE &. oH. CURTIS was an ardent and steady col- 
M lector in many directions. He did not devote himself merely to 
one or two branches of the arts; paintings were included among the 
objects he sought. 

The collection to be sold today represents the pictures he picked up 
from time to time during many years. He gave more time, for instance, 
to accumulating pieces of ancient glass than to buying pictures. But this 
helped to educate his eye for color, since the greatest charm of antique 
glass consists in the extraordinary play of colors produced by the action 
of the earth and air on the surface of the glass. As time went on and he 
began to frequent the picture shops, exhibitions and auctions with greater 
attention, he came more and more to relish and buy the work of SOTO: 
and particularly American colorists. 

Among the paintings here described are four color poems by Ralph A. 
Blakelock, nine works by George Inness, a gem of color by Homer D. 
Martin and pictures of Wyant, Murphy and others to whom a feeling for 
color was their natural gift. At the same time Mr. Curtis appreciated 
pictures of anecdote, like the military pieces of Berne-Bellecour and 
Beauquesne. He was sensitive to the charm of country life and enjoyed 
graceful and richly tinted figures and groups of peasants such as those 
of Boughton and Thom. Landscape and cattle pictures attracted him. 
He lived at Plainfield, New Jersey, where the country-side was close at 
hand. Among the pictures are landscapes of James M. Hart and others 
painted near Plainfield. He realized the abiding pleasure given by large 
simple views reflecting the calm of pastures and woodlands, all the more 
because his active life was passed in the turmoil and din of a great city. 
One detects in his collection a liking for an interest in horses, cattle and 
sheep. But though he preferred landscape and marine, the townscape 
also appealed to him when sufficiently picturesque, as we see from the 
Spanish town view by Roig-y-Soler. 

It is worthy of note that the nine paintings by George Inness had not 
been publicly exhibited up to the time of their sale by the executors of the 
Inness Estate in 1904, when they were purchased by Mr. Curtis.

: Although landscape was his favorite means of expression, the 
late J. H. Witt, an Indiana painter who made his name in New York, 
tried his hand at figures. In this picture of a comely lass he has 
given more attention to the dress she wears and the old chair she 
"sits on than to her head and arms, which are sketched, not finished; 
the coloring is excellent and the composition good.

Edward Moran was a brother of Thomas Moran, N.A. iil de- 
voted his brush to the sea. The ripple of waves off the New Jersey 


- coast was a constant spur to his endeavor. He has caught here the 


baffling way that waves have, especially where a current sets along 
the strand. Coasters are faintly seen to seaward and a solitary gull 
hovers over the beach.

Edmond Toudouze, father of Edouard Toudouze, experienced — 
the passing fashion among artists in Paris to paint horrors and~ 
martyrdoms. His “Fall of Sodom” was particularly ghastly, since 
the figures were writhing in flames and asphyxiating with deadly 
vapors. Nothing could be more peaceful and smiling than this in- 
terior by his son, with an Eighteenth Century young matron wielding 
her fan as she watches a fine infant in an old carved cradle. Beauti-
